Morant Committed to Secure Systems
Suggestions for Keeping Networks Updated and Secure
Helping to ensure the security of your personal computer as
well as the security of your organization’s system is a
priority for Morant. We’ve been working to keep clients
informed on the newest protections from both our developers and
outside software companies.
“Security in the workplace has been elevated from a ‘concern’ to
a matter of survival,” commented David Hanna. “At
Morant, we are doing all that we can to make increasing your
network security simple.”
Here are a few suggestions for developing a more secure network:
? Update your virus definitions regularly. Set up a schedule
to automatically download data on a daily basis and scan your
computer. Mid-day updates work best.
? Take advantage of Microsoft security downloads. Update and
upgrade your file server(s) and workstations that are using one
of Microsoft's Operating System packages and one of Microsoft's
tools for email.
? AMPAC users need to make changes. After installing some Microsoft
security updates, the MS Exchange and MS Outlook security options
have to be modified for some AMPAC users. If this is not done,
each email has to be individually acknowledged during batch email
using one of the options in AMPAC.
You will find the documentation and software for this new email
security modification on Morant's WEB site under User Group Section
(www.morant.com).
Alexandria, VA--Morant Data Company, a leading provider of Association
Management Software, is pleased to announce that it has changed
its name to "Morant Information Systems" to more closely
reflect the company’s future direction and to better convey
the types of products and services the company offers.
Since 1983, Morant Information Systems has specialized exclusively
in providing association software, support, and system implementation
services for membership organizations worldwide. The company’s
new name, "Morant Information Systems" enables them to
honor their heritage by retaining the name of the founder, while
updating their name to more accurately reflect the company’s
range of capabilities.
With offices in Washington, D.C., and now New York and Chicago--the
leading association centers of the world--Morant Information Systems
is emerging as a major player in the association software market.
Improvements to their product, AMPAC, as well as the introduction
of a new in-house Systems Support Group are evidence of the company’s
growing strength in this market.
Morant’s Association Management PACkage, AMPAC, is a very powerful,
yet extremely easy to use system that provides capabilities not
found in other association software management packages, such as
Foundations/Grants, Survey Management, and Political Action Committee
Management. This year, Morant Information Systems released the most
powerful version of this software. Some of the new features include
internet able database, customized report writing, the ability to
enter unlimited optional information entries for members, multiple
on-line HELP options, and enhanced security features. All modules
